Aoki Chapter - Chapter 7
Ji Yu held the sack of wild fruits and walked slowly through the village path.
In the distance, I saw the candlelight in the house of Da Zhuang and Erzhuang at the head of the village, and several figures in the house shuttled back and forth, presumably the two brothers of Da Zhuang were chasing and fighting at home, remembering that he said that he ate braised pork at home today, Ji Yu's mind came to the scene of their two brothers gobbling up and eating large pieces.
He smiled softly and moved on.
Walking on the quiet village road, you can hear the sound of villagers cooking on the fire from time to time, the sound of children playing at home, and the sound of old couples arguing in the house.
The village is located in the middle of nowhere, and there is still no electricity, but when night falls, every house will light candles to make the gloomy village a little more lively, and the flickering lights are like fireflies in the night, looming.
Along the way, Ji Yu finally returned to his little hut, he lit a candle, and opened the sack full of fruit by the candlelight.
But seeing that he poured all the fruits on the ground, he selected them one by one, and finally picked out a dozen or so wild fruits with excellent color, and packed them in another small sack: "These should be enough to bring to my father and mother tomorrow, and send the rest to the village chief." With that, he then filled the rest of the fruit in a hemp bag.
When he was about to run to the village chief's house, he seemed to suddenly think of something and sat down again.
It turned out that Ji Yu was worried that when he was wrestling in the forest, he broke the jade pendant given to him by the village chief, although he had seen it once in the forest just now, but after all, the moonlight was very little at that time, and at this moment he took advantage of the bright firelight to take a good look.
But seeing Ji Yu reach out into his arms, he gently took out the jade pendant hanging on his chest, and the touch was still cold.
Strange to say, although this jade pendant has been hanging close to Ji Yu's chest, its temperature is always so cool, no matter when, the temperature of the jade pendant will not change in any way.
Therefore, when the noon sun is poisonous, Ji Yu often takes out a jade pendant and rubs it on his face, and the cold feeling is definitely a must-have to beat the heat.
Although he didn't understand why this jade pendant was so peculiar, for Ji Yu, who had always been very arrogant, he naturally wouldn't think much about it.
At this time, he hung the jade pendant in front of the lamp, hoping that through the firelight, he could see whether the jade pendant was damaged.
The jade pendant was like magic, which attracted Ji Yu to stare intently, and he saw that on the jasper, there seemed to be a blue light flowing, and the silk light was like a free light, slowly flowing along with the lines on the jade pendant.
Ji Yu was deeply attracted by the scene in front of him, he stared fixedly, staring at this jasper as if he was distracted, the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him, Ji Yu was immersed in it, unable to extricate himself.
The free light slowly flowed out from the jade body, slowly drifting towards Ji Yu, perhaps because he was too fascinated, he ignored everything in front of him, and his eyes were still looking at the swaying jade pendant in front of him obsessively.
After a while, the light actually surrounded Ji Yu, and the milky white light floated around him, condensing but not dissipating, until he wrapped his whole body tightly, the thick white light like water actually began to become transparent, and finally together with Ji Yu and the jade pendant, it gradually disappeared into the thatched hut, leaving only a lonely flame shining in the house.
I don't know how long it has passed, but with a noisy dog barking, Ji Yu suddenly came back to his senses and suddenly reappeared in the hut.
He rubbed his dry eyes, and his expression was abrupt, as if he had no idea what had just happened in the room.
He looked down at the jade pendant in his hand again, and found that there was no vision he had just seen, and he couldn't help but be surprised, but Ji Yu didn't think much about it, he shook his head vigorously, trying to sober himself up, and after confirming that the jade pendant was undamaged, he took him back into his arms.
"Could it be that I fell and fainted my head just now?" Ji Yu patted his forehead, and then, seeing that the candle had burned out, he realized that a long time must have passed.
The village chief would wait for him to have dinner with him every day, and now that he was so late, he was afraid that he would be scolded later, so he hurriedly picked up the hemp bag, blew out the candles, and ran to the village chief's house in a hurry.
Returning to the village road, perhaps because the night was getting deeper, the village at this time was obviously much quieter than before.
Ji Yu followed the familiar road, and soon came to the door of the village chief's house, the candlelight in the house was still there, but at the moment it was very quiet, there was no sound, Ji Yu said suspiciously: "The eldest mother is a chattering woman, every day when she is cleaning up the dishes and chopsticks, the eldest mother will talk to the village chief about the trivial things that happened in the village today, and it is really strange that it is suddenly so quiet today." ”
Thinking of this, Ji Yu couldn't help but have a sense of foreboding in his heart, but just as he was about to knock on the door, he actually saw a thick liquid slowly oozing out of the door, and through the light in the room, he could see that it was a dull blood color, and a wisp of fishy smell slowly emerged.
Ji Yu looked down and suddenly felt that something was wrong, he hurriedly opened the door, and what he saw in front of him was the terrible scene of the eldest mother and the village chief lying in a pool of blood!
Ji Yu's heart hung in the air, he saw the two village chiefs who fell to the ground, so he hurriedly ran over, he trembled and picked up the village chief, only to see blood gushing out of the village chief's chest, dark red blood Ji Yu's clothes were also dyed blood, he looked at everything that suddenly happened in front of him, dazed and at a loss.
"Village Chief, Village Chief......"
He lowered his head and kept calling the village chief, and then reached out to shake the fallen lady, for a ten-year-old child, the scene in front of him was undoubtedly purgatory.
In the pool of blood, his head was buried lower and lower, until he was close to the village chief, he didn't cry, or he forgot to cry, Ji Yu's mind was blank: frightened, sad, dazed, helpless, and thousands of thoughts were entangled in Ji Yu's heart at the same time.
His body was shaking, his arms were clenched tighter, and he wanted to scream, but he couldn't make a sound in his throat.
Time seemed to freeze at this moment, and Ji Yu, who was kneeling on the ground, was like a lonely flat boat, floating on the vast sea with the waves.
Finally, a tear slowly seeped out of the corner of his eye, and then, as if there was a lack of embankment, he cried bitterly, and the smiling face of the village chief kept coming to mind:
He saw the back of the village chief standing in front of him when he made a mistake;
saw the scene of the village chief and the eldest lady arguing after eating;
saw the doting expression of the village chief when he gave him a jade pendant;
I saw the village chief sweating profusely when he helped him build a thatched hut.
Many, many images flashed through his mind, but all he saw in front of him was a bloodless face.
Tears fell on the village chief's cheeks, and at this time, he saw the village chief's eyelids tremble slightly.
"Yu'er.... Fast.... Escape...."
Ji Yu looked at the village chief incredulously, but seeing that the village chief's eyes were slightly open with difficulty, he wanted to reach out and grab Ji Yu's shoulder, but he could only lift two fingers, so he couldn't use his strength.
"The village chief.... Village Chief, are you alright? ”
Ji Yu saw that the village chief was still alive, and said hoarsely: "The village chief.... How can this be, I'm so scared.... Village Chief, I'm so scared...."
The village chief seemed to have exhausted his last bit of strength, and he suddenly grabbed Ji Yu's shoulders when he returned to his eyes, and repeated with difficulty: "Yu'er.... Run...."
After speaking, his whole body went soft, he let go of Ji Yu's shoulders, and fell asleep in the blood on the ground, with no life in his eyes.
Ji Yu watched the village chief die in his arms, and finally couldn't help it, and cried out almost hysterically, the cry was so loud that the whole village could hear it.
But there seemed to be no sound in the village except for his cries.
The terrible cry was particularly piercing in the night, and it was not the rest of the village that came from the noise, but a dark shadow lurking quietly outside the door.
------
A helicopter noise pierced the tranquility of the night, and it also woke up Mingyue, who was closing his eyes and recuperating beside the cliff, but saw three pitch-black helicopters hovering over the edge of the cliff, the rope ladder was thrown down, and the twelve armed soldiers on board fell one after another.
"The helicopter quickly withdrew, otherwise the movement would be too big and it would startle the snake. Mingyue, who was dressed in a black power suit, commanded his subordinates. The subordinates received the order, waved their hands neatly, and the three helicopters circled in the air before fleeing away.
Twelve black-clothed soldiers stood neatly in front of Mingyue, Mingyue, who was originally sitting on the ground, stood up and said slowly: "This mission is to search for a child between the ages of eight and ten, with no identifying features, the target is located in the village behind the forest, there are suspected targets that match the age, and all of them are captured alive." ”
At this time, a soldier came out of the column and asked in a deep voice, "What about the rest?"
When Mingyue heard this, he recalled what You Jiuzhou said with himself in the library, he gritted his teeth, his hands trembled slightly, and after trying his best to calm the tension in his heart, he said with difficulty: "Kill.. Not.. Pardon.."
After speaking, the soldiers who asked questions were lined up, and twelve black blades about a foot long were unsheathed together, Mingyue saw that everyone was ready, turned to look at the dark forest, he took a deep breath, and said in a low voice: "Let's go!"
In an instant, the soldiers shot into the woods like twelve black arrows, these soldiers moved quickly and silently, and with the black blades in their hands, they believed that tonight would be a silent slaughter.
Mingyue did not follow everyone to the village, he was gentle by nature, in fact, he had already been suppressed by the murderous aura of the soldier, but he was the second young master of the Ming family, he must not show cowardice at this juncture, and after everyone disappeared into the night, he breathed a sigh of relief, putting aside the composure of the force, and all that was left at the moment was nervousness and uneasiness.
"Why don't I just wait here for them to get the man back?" he hesitated, staring blankly at the forest in front of him.
But he soon denied this idea: "No, this mission is very important, there can't be the slightest mistake, if I don't go, how can I explain to the three masters?"
As soon as she thought of this, although she was very apprehensive in her heart, Mingyue still followed her.
On the other hand, the twelve black-clad soldiers, who moved quickly, had already passed through the forest in a matter of moments, hiding under the tattered walls of the village under the protection of the night.
After a short observation, one of the soldiers in the lead waved his right hand slightly, and everyone walked forward like black shadows.
The black blade shimmered in the moonlight, it was the invitation of the king of Hades, it was the ghost that seduced the soul.
As several black shadows flew in, Uncle Wang's house at the head of the village was the first to be murdered: three soldiers cooperated seamlessly and climbed into the house through the window, and when Uncle Wang and his family were still frightened, the black blade in their hands cut their throats, and the two people who didn't even have time to scream fell into Huangquan.
And the two brothers, Da Zhuang and Erzhuang, who were originally fighting, were also knocked out with knives by the soldiers who climbed into the window on the other side because they were of the same age as Ji Yu, and they fell to the ground.
Taking people's lives is instantaneous, like killing a pig and slaughtering a sheep, as easy as a snap.
After the blow was successful, the three did not hesitate, leaving one of them to stay in the house, and the other two looked at each other, stepped over the two corpses on the ground, and continued to sweep towards the other house.
The other villagers' homes were equally bloody and terrible, everyone who was attacked was killed with a single sword, and the soldiers carpeted into every house, and with a wave of the black blade in their hands, it meant that a fresh life left this world.
Although the whole operation was silent, the scene under the light of each candle was as terrifying as the Hell Shura Field, blood was splashed everywhere, the villagers were all dead, and the blood that was still warm slowly seeped out on the ground, and the thick bloody breath shrouded the village like night.
The full moon in the sky was still scarlet, and the dim red light shone on the village, eerie.
As the slaughter continued, the village became more and more silent as the number of houses infiltrated by the soldiers gradually increased, and when one of the soldiers climbed into Widow Liu's house, there was a small episode:
The rhubarb at the door of Widow Liu's house seemed to have predicted what would happen tonight, and it should have rested early, but it stayed outside the door all night.
As the soldiers approached the house, the alert Rhubarb suddenly barked when he heard something strange.
Seeing this, the three soldiers outside the house frowned, and the soldiers led by them used knives as darts, and the black blades shot out of their hands, piercing Rhubarb's head and nailing it straight to the wooden door of Widow Liu's house.
When Widow Liu heard the vision outside the door, she wondered why Rhubarb suddenly made a lot of noise at this time, and why did she suddenly stop talking? After taking a break after dinner, she rubbed her eyes and opened the door to see what was going on, but Widow Liu never imagined that this was her last journey in the world.
The door opened, and the three knives came out at once, and Widow Liu's body was held in the air by the blade, and then she fell to the ground like mud and pressed against the rhubarb corpse.
This small commotion caught the attention of the rest of the soldiers, and everyone sped up their movements, panicking at the outpouring of the situation.
In fact, the episode was not limited to Widow Liu, just before the rhubarb broke and barked, a soldier walked to the end of the village, and actually found a dilapidated wooden house with bright lights, but after opening the door, it was empty, the soldier was surprised, but this dilapidated house was a palm-sized place, there was nowhere to hide, presumably a poor villager went to another house to visit the door.
The soldier didn't think much of it, and he quickly exited the hut and ran towards the next house.
After a few breaths, the dog barked, Ji Yu appeared out of thin air, the fate is strange, but that's it.
On the other hand, the group of black-clothed soldiers entered the village for about half an hour, and eight or nine out of ten villagers were killed, and finally, the village chief's house in the center of the village, next to the mountain temple, could not escape the doom.
The village chief, who was waiting for Ji Yu at home, was listening to his daughter-in-law chattering about the gossip he heard in the village today, and suddenly, a black shadow passed out of the window, and the village chief's heart tightened, and he hurriedly signaled the eldest mother to silence him.
At this moment, a black-clothed soldier broke through the window, and the village chief, who had been on guard, actually set up a fist fight, and waited, and the village chief saw that the black-clothed man was holding a sharp blade, and it was obvious that the person who came was not good, he motioned to his daughter-in-law to hide behind him, and said in a deep voice:
"Who are you?"
The black-clothed soldier couldn't help but be a little surprised when he saw that this person in front of him was skilled in boxing, obviously not an ordinary villager, he held the black blade tightly with both hands, the tip of the knife pointed straight at the village chief, and the scarlet blood slowly dripped from the tip of the knife, and said in a deep voice: "The dying person, why bother asking?"
After finishing speaking, the black-clothed soldier was short, and the black blade rushed towards the village chief with a gentle sound of breaking wind.
At this time, the village chief's eyes were firm, and the deep eyes were like the two of them who were kind to the village chief on weekdays, and when he saw the man in black taking the lead, he roared at the moment, and his hands changed from fists to claws, grabbing the wrist of the black-clothed soldier with lightning speed.
Seeing that he was so fast, the soldier was startled, and hurriedly flipped his wrist, and while breaking away from his claws, the blade was sharpened upward, and the village chief saw that the terrible black blade was coming again, and he dodged backwards, and the blade was cut against the tip of his nose, which was extremely thrilling.
The black-clothed soldier missed a blow and was about to turn around and attack again, but the village chief took the lead in counterattacking, but seeing him take a deep breath, his right fist suddenly burst out, and slammed heavily on the black-clothed soldier's chest, knocking him three feet away, falling to the ground, life and death unknown.
The eldest lady behind the village chief was already trembling with fright, and what made her feel even more incredible was that the man in front of her, who had slept with her for many years, had become another person tonight, extremely strange.
At this time, the village chief saw that the man in black on the ground fell to the ground, so he turned to his daughter-in-law and said, "Don't be afraid, daughter-in-law, I'm here, it's okay, let's go quickly!"
Just as the two were about to break out of the door, a black-clothed soldier entered the window, the black-clothed soldier looked at the injured companion on the ground, his eyes suddenly became solemn, the village chief saw this, his eyebrows were deeply locked, but he was not allowed to think about it, the black-clothed man had already leaned over.
But seeing the black blade held high, the black-clothed soldier slashed his head with a knife, and the village chief instinctively wanted to dodge to the side, but in a blink of an eye, he remembered the eldest lady behind him, and in desperation, he exerted his strength with both arms, and with the power of his palm, he took the knife and grabbed the blade empty-handed.
The village chief's arm strength was extraordinary, and the black blade was tightly held by his two palms, and he couldn't pull it out for a while, but after all, he faced the iron and stone knife with his body, although the village chief had exhausted his skill, but the palm of his hand still couldn't help oozing blood.
The village chief couldn't take too much care at this time, endured the stinging pain, and the strength of his hand increased unabated, the two sides were in such a stalemate, the situation was unknown, and the one who broke the deadlock was another black-clothed soldier who appeared behind the eldest lady at the next moment.
Just as the village chief and the black-clothed man in front of him were wrestling with each other, another black-clothed soldier who had been lurking in the shadows early suddenly attacked.
But seeing him striding out, the black blade in his hand stabbed through the position of the heart on the back of the eldest mother, directly piercing the chests of the two, the village chief suddenly felt a chill in his heart, he looked down and saw the tip of the knife dripping blood on his chest, and his hands were weak.
Seeing this, the black-clothed man in front of him immediately pulled the black blade out of the village chief's hand, and stabbed it with all his might, and the village chief and the eldest lady were pierced together by these two black blades, and blood slowly dripped down the edge of the blade.
The village chief looked at the two black blades inserted in his body in amazement, his expression slowly became sluggish, and as the two black-clothed soldiers pulled out the black blades, the blood fountain gushed out on the two of them, and the village chief's eyes began to blur, and his mind was dizzy, which was obviously a sign of excessive blood loss.
But seeing that his feet were weak, the two of them collapsed, and the village chief wanted to hug the woman in front of him, but he was weak and couldn't move, and his eyes were black, and he fainted.
